Hi  mountsuji ,

Timing: In both Quant and Verbal, You seem to have less time to attempt the questions towards the end.

In 3rd set of verbal, you invested more time in wrong questions i.e 4 correct & 3 incorrect but time taken for incorrect questions is higher. This also took away the required time for the 4th set of questions. Notice that from 3rd to 4th set, level complexity came down from medium-high to medium.

Having less time left in the end to attempt the questions is where the performance degraded in verbal.

Quant score could be higher for sure if you had performed well in first couple of sets with same performance in last two sets. Practice is required.

Here is how many questions you got right in each set in both quant and verbal.

Hi mountsuji,

First off, a 660/Q46 is a strong score (it's right around the 80th percentile overall), so it could be enough to get you into your first-choice School. As such, a retest might not be necessary. Depending on the Schools that you plan to apply to, you would likely find it beneficial to speak with an Admissions Expert about your overall profile. There's a Forum full of them here:

If you do choose to retest, then it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:

Studies:
1) How long have you studied?
2) What materials have you used?
3) How have you scored on each of your CATs (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for each)?

Goals:
4) What is your goal score?
5) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
6) What Schools are you planning to apply to?
